🏵️🗡️ —— A thoughtful hum was let out, crossing her arms in front of her. "Well, you are asking this time... I do appreciate that." To awaken in the middle of the night like that, out of pure luck, to see her companion with fangs bare was quite the sight. Nothing she had ever encountered before, yet, as she listened, she could not quite find fault though her grandmother's voice in her head said she should have. "Some would consider me...naive for allowing you that kindness. Perhaps they are right. However... I have noticed you stronger in battle, truly there for us when we needed it, so I've no regrets on my part." A grimace followed, her hand going to the side of her neck, the bite marks still healing. "...except for the morning after..." Taking a deep breath, going for a slight stretch with her arms behind her back. "As for...another nibble of me, if you are in dire need of it, for your strength... I would not deny you. I doubt the others would feel the same... So, if you need me, you need only ask."

"I won't forget what you did for me the other night, you know." Astarion is talking playfully, like he's implying something, but he's only speaking of the night she let him drink her blood, of course. He has decided to ask next time, though, because she was quite open-minded about it, much more than he first expected. Not everyone would be nice with a vampire, but she was. It's a good start. "And please, feel free to offer it again if you feel like it. I surely won't complain."
